You and your mom...Labor Day Trip 2010...it was your last day in MK,...tomorrowland Stitches Great escape...Kira sat this one out...celebrating your mom's 71st b-day which happened prior to the trip (but she celebrated all week)...notice all her birthday buttons/stickers, plus the famous 1st visit button...this was before your fateful spin on the tea cups which made your mother not be able to participate the next morning.
You are VEry good and I am Very bad for not scoring until now.
1pt for Me
1pt for my mom
1pt Labor Day Trip 2010
1pt for last day in MK
1pt for all the details of the trip (mom's bday, first visit
1pt for the details on what happened after we rode the tea cups
6 points total.
however, I am pretty sure this isn't Stiches great escape. There is a table and a queue for food service. I am not sure what we were eating since it was at the end of the day. In one of the pictures in the series, Kira was in fact with us. (but yes, she did sit out SGE)
Winning $10 on a $2 scratch-off - well, I would think so, as that is better than I ever did.
I don't really gamble...just a scratch ticket here and there. I am amazed at how often I actually win. It is usually $5 here or there.. maybe a $10 once and a while... and even $25. I never spend more than a couple dollars on a ticket.
And it is interesting about the people here on the DIS - we have made some incredible friends here, particularly some that we met up during our last trip - we still correspond with them regularly, and get pictures of their new babies - its almost like we get to be foster grandparents. We all know the bad parts of the internet, but I have had so very many positive experiences that I am so thankful for.
I too am very thankful.
So happy for you Ann! And for the dress for Zoe. It looks beautiful.
And your trip is getting so close! And the time between now and then is full of so many good things: Halloween, Thanksgiving... packing (am I the only one who enjoys packing for a trip to Disney???) Your trip will be here before you know it.
Thank you!!
First off, very glad your test results came back negative! That is such a relief.
Second, that is such a beautiful Cinderella dress! I wish they had these things when I was a kid!
Thanks, it is a relief. And.. I know right? I remember costumes being all home made back when I was a kid. The cost of these while not cheap..is within reach unlike when I was a kid.
I totally understand your excitement and can relate to the crazy! We just got back from our trip on Sunday, and I already want to book the next trip for next year and get cracking on the planning. Super excited already and we haven't even booked yet
I am always thinking a bit a head. The closer this trip gets the more I wonder when I will be returning. It is almost like I have to have a trip planned at all times.
Ann IS part Austrian!
What a cute dress and how wonderful that it was in Zoe's size! The price rocks too!
I thought you would appreciate that. And..the dress is too cute on Zoe. It also isn't scratchy like a lot of costumes can be. It is however long...so we will have to see what day we won't be dealing with rain. (hopefully none) since the bottom would end up all muddy.
The dress you found for Zoe is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you.
Ann - love that dress. You have had such a great week! I am also using Ancestry.com and in fact my father and I will be visiting my grandmother's 95-year-old first cousin this Saturday to delve deeper into our family tree. Pretty excited about that. I am pretty sure we have slaves in our heritage, since my great-great grandfather's last name is the same as his "wife's" maiden name. That usually indicates slavery, since slaves (I think) took the name of their masters.
That is interesting regarding the slaves and their names. Funny the stuff we learn in this, eh? How cool though that you will get to go visit your cousin. I was kinda surprised when I found records of my great grandmother. I had always been told that she was full native american. In census records though she is marked as white. Do you think it is possible my great grandfather just marked her as white since he was?
Also, her maiden name though was brown...so..that is kinda an odd name for not only a native american, but someone who was white.
Love the dress!! It's beautiful and I love all the wonderful things happening in your life these days!
And as for the picture - it's you and your mom but Tammie has already said pretty much everything there is and I can't hang with her...
Thank you... I too am appreciating how good this week has been. Now if only I could get my house clean...it would be perfect.
Ann, I LOVE the dress. It says Zoe all over it.
I ironed it and had her try it on yesterday... she is so cute in it... I like it better than the sleeping beauty dress.
Congrats on the dress! Great bargain too! Congrats on the Austrian thing. We found out recently that my family is all German except for one French Huguenot. My cousin did extensive studies in France during her college years so she was very excited to see French ancestry.
I do love a bargain.
And...on the Austrian thing... My mom has always said she is Yugoslavian. Now... her brother raised a stink a few years back saying Austrian.... but looking at the records it may actually be a combination. Her dad and his family immigrated from "Austria" in the late 1800s (yes, my grandfather - mom's dad- was born before the turn of the 20th century) However, looking at my grandmothers records, her father put down Slovenia. So who knows... I guess that area has been changing a bit over the last 100 or so years. And... on my father's side, there is SUPPOSE to be French. I have yet to see any record of it..but the last name is a French name..so maybe I won't have to go too far back.
Do you know how long it took me in Ann's last trip report to find her mom dressed in the clothes in the picture?!
Watch me be totally wrong on all points!
I have to rack up as many points in one time as I can...since most of the time I miss the picture being posted!
You did good. I am just impressed you used my TR from last September as a resource to figure it out.
Thank you, I am relieved that the results are what they are. Kinda confused, but relieved.
As for the dres... I know... I am just glad that I have Zoe to do this with for a little while. Kira was never quite into it...but loves to see Zoe do it. It is too bad we can't dress up..but I think it is against the rules at WDW.
So I won't be needing to worry about how to do surgery and the December trip. 
A ton of good news, and I am really happy for you! 
Does buying a $2 scratch ticket and winning $10 count? I know... things are definitely on the up for me now. It has been a rather long year...but no matter what happens...things always tend to work out. I am truly blessed.
That your results came back normal.
